Went on line and uninteresting hunt thru the muskeep and burned timber. Found one Chipping Sparrow nest in small spruce in muske- eg. Four eggs, seemed neat and parent-bird, but the eggs were well advanced in incubation and trills. Found one other nest, with 2eggs, but tho I waited half an hour in the damn swamp being eaten up by mosquitoes, I could only suspect a Redstart, which I turned out to be a young male. I imagine the nest is that of the Hammond Flycatcher. Shot a ♀ Downy Woodpecker-(fully Mt.) from a dead stub over the small muskeg. Got two good Audubus Warblers. The young Pishino I found (May 29.) were just ready to leave the nest today, for June 17, when I looked they had left- The day was cold and grey. Nest: Over muskeg, water and grass beneath. Fifteen feet off ground in forks of bending Alder branch. Yohage over and around it, folded like lickered prominences on branch. Two small white eggs,
